The first mirror has assumed its place in the living room, anchoring the wall above my sofa. I am so pleased with how it looks. Loving that coastal, casual-beach vibe.
For months, months I tell you, I looked for a large, inexpensive piece to hang on that wall. Finally, I found it at Ballard's Backroom, which is a closeout center for unsold items in the Ballard Designs catalog. It can be a hit or miss, as with most outlets, but why pay full price? I saved over $200 on this mirror.
Fortunately, for the next mirror, I have a before picture. Before I had a swing-mounted mirror in my bedroom, which I had for a good10 years. See it in the corner?
Now, I have a leaner! Again, I have dreamed of having a leaner mirror. I love the instant charm they add to a room. BUT, I refused to pay anything close to the $200++ price range I was finding. This weekend, Mom and I found this beauty at Home Goods priced in the double digits. Waahoo.

LOOOOOOVE your new mirror in your living room. Such a good find!
Thank you Lauren! If you're ever in the Atlanta area, you definitely need to check out the Backroom.
beautiful spaces! i love all of the white, looks so clean! and i'm loving the mirrors as well :)
I love that mirror too! I completely agree about using mirrors when decorating. I searched high and low to find the perfect bamboo mirror to hang above my fireplace and now that it's there, I love it!
Leaner mirrors are a good way to make a place feel taller than it really is. With the help of a wall mirror you may add light to the space. This is truly a massive improvement for compact spaces since the added light will certainly make the area seem to be bigger than it really is.
